Went to Millstone Edge (Surprise View) above Hathersage to watch the tour come through the top of the hill climb.

Unlike cars on a circuit I was only going to get one chance and had little opportunity to move so didn't bother with panning (the bikes were fairly slow where I was so it would have been tough to get right). Got there early for a nice spot (glad I did) as it soon got pretty packed on top of the hill.

I used the K3 and Sigma 50-150 and K5iis with 17-70,

Anyway a few of my efforts :

It was good fun (weather helped) although tough getting shots when you know they're not coming round again !

Feel free to comment, provide any tips for this sort of thing.

The Flying Fortress takes it for me as well, remember making Airfix models of this as a kit. Some nice captures.

interesting set, the 'Having a drag' takes it for me, although the buttons shot has something about it.
